The Anatomy of a Book Cover

A book cover is an artistic form of communication that uses visual means to attract attention and convey the minimum vital information to entice the customer to learn more about it. It works like a peephole through which we can glimpse the text inside.

Let’s learn what makes a great book cover design. Keep in mind that the book’s content and cover are always entwined. It’s all about the idea/feeling that you want to transmit.

Why Do Book Covers Matter?

People have been judging books by their covers for ages. Now, we have other criteria to evaluate before purchasing a book, like customer reviews and ratings, but book covers are still a compelling reason to buy a book. A book cover offers potential purchasers the possibility of diving inside or turning back. One must be able to imagine what a book will be about by just looking at the book cover, and this is why it’s so crucial that you know how to design an attractive book cover that will draw in readers. Placeit by Envato has plenty of different book cover templates, covering subjects from fantasy book covers to a recipe book cover. Go ahead and check them out! 

In addition, here are a few great premade book cover examples to inspire you, but with Placeit’s book cover maker, you can create whatever book cover you’ve been imagining. 

💡 Pro Tip: most of our book covers come in a bundle, which means you can get a Book Spine and a Back Book Cover Maker with the same style.
